whilst driving through the lincolnshire countryside and grandad being back home in york she asked why (when we smelt manure) grandad smelt so bad ha ha

I had bought myself some multi coloured shoes which I thought were quite trendy. I showed them to my 5 year old granddaughter and asked her if she liked them. Her answer was to wrinkle her nose up and ask ' Did you make them yourself grandma'?

My grandson Barnaby and I were having a conversation about my parents. He wanted to know where my mum and dad were.

"They're both dead", I said.
"Why did they die?", said Barnaby.
"Oh, they were very old", I said. Silence from Barnaby, then he said -

"Are you dead granny?"

Me: How do you get away with being so naughty?
Six year old granddaughter: It's because I'm so cute Grandma!!

After I'd raised expectations sky-high for grandad's conjuring prowess, two year old DGS2 watched agog as his penny went into the Abracadabra box, and then the box was opened with a flourish - empty! His face crumpled with disappointment.

"But where's the rabbit?" he wailed. "I wanted it to turn into a white rabbit."

Grandad has a bit of practising to do!

DGD aged 5 as I was dishing up the dinner-"Nanny, how do you make mashed potato?"
Me "You boil the potatoes then mash them down with milk and butter until they are smooth and creamy."
DGD, "Then why is mine full of lumps?"

My grandson was 6 when his Daddy died we did a lot of talking about Daddy being in heaven, soon afterwards they came to visit me which necessitated a short plane ride. when they were above the clouds he asked if Jesus lived there , he was told yes, he then said in a very loud voice ' can we go and visit Daddy in heaven' the man in the row behind said ' I Bl** hope not'

Were you always short nanna?

My Grandaughter aged 6 asked 'Why can't Daddy have a baby'. (I replied in my head 'That's a question all women have asked!'). Needless to say, with Mum's permission, we discussed the differences between female bodies and male bodies!

While out driving in the countryside, my grandaughter shouted "out why is that cow giving the other one a piggy back " too young to explain to her we just said they were playing a game. Gulp !!!!

Why doesn't the sun fall down out of the sky?

We were putting some flowers on a relative's grave a few weeks ago, I was talking away to my auntie and to my granddaughter. Her little face looked bewildered and she asked, "how does auntie Linda hear you, do you have to talk to through those holes over there?!" She was pointing to the vase to put flowers, bless her! My auntie would have had a good laugh at that!!

Best question was..
Nanny how did mummy and daddy make me? .....
????

I had a minute or so to think quickly
I just said when two peopoe are in love they make a baby. I then said ask daddy when he gets home haha

On hearing his Auntie had had her baby he asked how her baby had hatched.

On noticing the wrinkles on my face, my granddaughter asked what they were. I replied that as people get older, lines appear and jokingly said that they show wisdom and age. She replied, 'I don't think I'll bother'.

Taking my granddaughter to feed the ducks on the village pond, and walking over the grass on the village green, she asked: 'Why do geese do big poos?'

I was chasing my younger grandaughter around the garden when all of a sudden she stopped dead in her tracks turned around and shouted at me " Your a nanny your supposed to be too old to chase me "

While walking the little one to the park I was asked 'please can you ask that woman if we can buy her baby'. It was embarrassing because she would ask in a loud voice near everyone who was with a pushchair. I would just smile while cringing on the inside. She thinks babies are made in shops and you buy them :-)

Being asked "What was is like in the old days, when everything was black and white?" The little madam thought that real life was black and white, and that colour only came in when we got colour TV's!

My grand daughter, then aged three, asked what the long sausage behind my front door was for, so I told her it was to stop draughts coming under the door. She looked a little puzzled but said nothing. About an hour later she asked "But why do the giraffes want to come under the door?"

My grandson asked if he could have a look in my hair on the back of my head because he wanted to see where my eyes were ( the ones in the back of my head !! )

On collecting DH and grandson from duck pond I got into the passenger seat leaving grandson very confused "did you push the car here by hand granny?" He said!

GD asked 'Why does Mummy moan so much...' I kept very quiet and changed the subject!

My follicly challenged husband was topless and my granddaughter asked me 'Oma (German for Nanna) has Granddad's hair fallen on to his chest?'
